Sounds like a lot of MSD Coils are failing lately from the research I did the last few days

Had my new 432 Stroker on the road the other day for the first time in over a year

Cruising on the highway after about a hour the engine started missing at high rpms

Turned around and headed home , where it started getting worse even at lower cruise

What I first noticed was the tachometer needle was bouncing all over the place , had a mind of its own

Went to touch the MSD 8202 Red Coil checking the tach wire , was super super hot

Just swapped in a old Mopar Resto coil that I had laying around along with a .8 resistor

Ran it for a few hours problem solved

This MSD 8202 Coil I had for about 5 years , ran fine with MP Chrome ECU , MP Distributor prior

First day with the new motor , had me wondering now what - The Tach issue was the only thing that pointed me directly to the coil


Anyways , this MSD 8222 Epoxy Coil - Better ? Same ?

Is there a better coil in factory location bracket on aluminum intake ?

Or is it time for a FBO Upgrade or Rev n nator Upgrade for this new motor

Street Use
